We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A chic, beachfront semi-detached house along Ventnor’s famous esplanade, with spectacular south-facing sea views, a large balcony, terrace and off-road parking.
Location - Beachside is located on the esplanade in Ventnor, opposite the beach and the seashore and set back from the road. Ventnor is a popular seaside town on the south side of the Island.
Once a fishing village, later, in Edwardian times, a health spa resort and currently a popular holiday destination with an active year-round community and a vibrant arts and sports scene.
Ventnor offers a selection of useful shops, hairdressers, a marina, coastal walks and a cliff-top golf course. Other shops, restaurants and a cinema can be found in Newport, thirty minutes away.
The Property - Beachside is a chic home, where you can see and hear the sea from almost every corner.
The layout has been configured as an upside-down house, with the main living space and outdoor entertaining areas on the first floor/raised level.
The house is immaculately put together, with every space designed with attention to detail whilst retaining the character of its natural coastal environment.
The outdoor spaces have been curated for entertaining family and friends, taking full advantage of the views at the front where the balcony faces the beach and the sea, and the privacy at the back for barbecuing or quieter moments.
The interiors are simple and contemporary in design with cool, beach-vibe colours, limed wood flooring and minimalist décor.
The windows make the most of the sea views, particularly on the top two floors, and the bathrooms have been pristinely maintained as ‘nearly new’ with polished chrome, gloss tiles and glazing to create light-filled spaces.
